• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil

• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 20 pieces Gluten-free wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the prawns into small pieces and place them into a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, green onions, cilantro, salt, and pepper to the prawns. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 3

Lay out one gluten-free wonton wrapper on a lightly floured surface using cornstarch to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the prawn mixture onto the center of the wonton wrapper.

Step 5

Dampen the edges of the wonton wrapper with a hint of water.

Step 6

Fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle, pressing gently to seal the edges and ensure there are no air pockets.

Step 7

Bring the two furthest points of the triangle together and pinch to seal, forming a traditional wonton shape.

Step 8

Repeat the process with remaining wrappers and filling until all are used.

Step 9

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat.

Step 10

Carefully drop the wontons into the boiling water, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 11

Cook the wontons for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface and the prawns inside are fully cooked.

Step 12

Remove the wontons using a slotted spoon and drain well.

Step 13

Serve the gluten-free prawn wontons with a side of dipping sauce of choice and enjoy hot.
